[Towertalk] Attaching Ladder line to a Metal Rod/Mast

[n4kg@juno.com]

I have an 80M inverted vee supported at the top of a 10 ft mast on my
130 ft tower where I installed a 3 ft cross arm with pulleys at each end.
Near the ground, I attached a 5 lb 'window weight' to the ladderline to
keep it under tension, and pulled it out a few feet from the tower.
